I am thankful to be working with your children and watching them grow into independent learners.  
Thank you for sharing them with me during our journey in third grade.  
    
We are very excited to be sending our book off to the publisher this week.  The cover has been made, 
the illustrations are complete and tomorrow we will decide on our dedication.  I expect delivery before 
the winter break.

The class has done an outstanding job mastering the concept of division.  We are ready to post-test 
this week.  Next week we'll spend time reviewing counting change and interpreting graphs.

Social Studies work will dominate our learning for the next few weeks.  During reading time the 
students are working to learn from their reading as they study the contributions to freedom and the 
rights of Americans given by Paul Revere and then Susan B. Anthony.  We will not have formal tests on 
these people, but instead, the students will be working on performance task projects in class.  Parents 
do not have to worry about any preparation or help since these will be done as a part of our regular 
classwork.

We are also spending time learning about the productive resources people use.  These include natural, 
human and capital resources.

What's Coming Up:
East Side's book fair will be held next week.  Our class will preview the fair on Tuesday at 11:40.  You 
are invited to join us in the Media Center at that time.  After Thanksgiving we will begin our math study 
of geometry.  Frederick Douglass will be studied during our reading and social studies time.  We will 
also learn about the different habitats in Georgia.  Our High Touch High Tech program titled 
"Georgiaology" will be on December 3 from 8:00-9:30.  I will be sending home a letter about Third 
Grade's Economics Fair when we return from Thanksgiving.  Our Economics Fair will be held on 
December 18.  Thank you in advance for sending in your spare pennies.  The children will be earning 
pennies the two weeks prior to our fair and this will be the cash they can spend to shop at the fair.
The P.E. team would like to encourage everyone to participate in the Jingle Jog December 5.
